Formed by Parish Councils --- Run for Parish Councils --- Delivering to Parish Councils

The Derbyshire Association of Local Councils (DALC) is a not for profit membership organisation, representing, training and advising the parish (including town) councils of Derbyshire, who form the grass roots tier of local government in England.

We offer members a resource of vital, operational information and facilitate communication at all levels of the parish network - district, county, regional and national.

As a membership association we are unable to deal with queries from the public, but we are happy to make general information available through this website. Please do not contact us directly unless you are a member.

We would like to wish all our members a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

The DALC office will be closed as of the end of the day 19th December 2018 and will reopen on 7th January 2019. As usual, we will both be picking up emails over the period and acting on them as necessary.
